Privacy Policy for DPP Saathi: Our Faith Journey
Effective date: 12 November 2026
DPP Saathi: Our Faith Journey is an Android app that lets you read the Diocesan Pastoral Plan 2026–2033 of the Diocese of Simla-Chandigarh, its commissions, and news and events published on dppscd.org. The app is developed by Ten10 Digital for the Diocese of Simla-Chandigarh. In short: the app does not ask who you are, and we do not collect your name or contact details.
No accounts, no tracking
- There are no accounts and no sign-in. You never give us your name, email address or phone number to use the app.
- The app has no analytics. We do not track which screens you open or what you read.
- The app shows no advertising and does not use your device's advertising ID.
Where the content comes from
The app shows public content (news, events, the Pastoral Plan, commission information, images and PDF guides). It reads this content from Sanity, a content service, at cdn.sanity.io. As with any internet request, Sanity's servers receive the technical information needed to send the content to your phone, such as your IP address.
Notifications
When notifications are enabled for the app (on Android 13 and newer, the app asks you first), it joins a single notification group so it can receive news alerts sent to everyone. For this to work, Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging service handles an identifier for your device. This is handled by Google under its own privacy policy, not by us. We do not receive your name or any other detail about you through it, and we do not keep a list of users or devices. You can turn notifications off at any time in your phone's settings (Settings → Apps → DPP Saathi → Notifications; the exact menu names depend on your phone).
On your device
The app keeps a copy of the news you last loaded on your device so that it works offline. This stays on your device, and removing the app deletes it.
PDFs and links
When you open a PDF or a link, such as the Pastoral Plan download, it opens in your phone's PDF viewer or web browser and may be hosted by another service (for example Google Drive). From then on, that service's own privacy terms apply.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects this policy (for example by adding accounts or analytics), we will publish the new version at the same address and update the effective date before the change goes live.
